Undoubtedly 2 of the best martial artists in the movies that are still alive today are Jackie Chan and Jet Li. However the skills of these two are often highly disputed amongst fans. Many would argue that Jackie Chan cannot be taken seriously after his many comedy type martial arts movies. Whereas Jet Li is considered more of a hardcore martial artist and often plays the villain. Most Jet Li fans would argue that there could never be a match between the 2 as Jackie Chan is too much of a joker.

Chang Quan

Sometimes known as “long fist” or as “extended arm boxing,” chang quan is one of the oldest kung-fu striking systems. Emphasizing large, extended, and sometimes circular movements, the system relies on strong muscles, tendons, and joints to generate striking power.

Northern Praying Mantis was created by a Shaolin master called Wang Lang in the mid-17th century when he combined footwork techniques from monkey-style kung fu with hand techniques from praying mantis. The system went on to become one of the most well-known and best-loved Chinese Kung-Fu systems.
